OpenSSL::Engine.by_id(name) → engine

Fetches the engine as specified by the id String.

OpenSSL::Engine.by_id("openssl")
 => #<OpenSSL::Engine id="openssl" name="Software engine support">

See OpenSSL::Engine.engines for the currently loaded engines.

OpenSSL::Engine.cleanup

It is only necessary to run cleanup when engines are loaded via OpenSSL::Engine.load. However, running cleanup before exit is recommended.

Note that this is needed and works only in OpenSSL < 1.1.0.

OpenSSL::Engine.engines → [engine, ...]

Returns an array of currently loaded engines.

Source: show 

static VALUE

    ary = rb_ary_new();

OpenSSL::Engine.load(name = nil)

This method loads engines. If name is nil, then all builtin engines are loaded. Otherwise, the given name, as a String, is loaded if available to your runtime, and returns true. If name is not found, then nil is returned.
